The number of international schools in Malaysia is on the rise. Kuala Lumpur is the largest city and national capital in Malaysia. The capital has more than 70 international schools, most of which also offer the English National Curriculum for those hoping to pursue a degree in the UK or other comparable country. It is the education hub for all other Malaysian cities, and many people commute between their classes.
Many people who have moved to Malaysia from the UK and other countries want to continue their education through an internationally accredited school in Malaysia, which is facilitated by the Malaysian Government. There are two types of Malaysian government-accredited schools – government-recognized or private schools. A government-recognized school must follow the stipulated curriculum; it cannot be run or taught by non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Private international schools on the other hand can teach whatever curriculum they like, as long as they follow a prescribed set of academic standards and observe international academic standards such as the passage of the ISE accreditation. However, government-recognized schools are not allowed to charge the same fees as other private schools in Malaysia, and the government also provides financial assistance to these institutions.
Many people have changed their minds about the country after attending one of the many premier education institutions in Malaysia. These include the prestigious International School of Malaysia (ISM), the University of Macau (UMAK), the International Islamic University (IAU), the Graduate Institute of Malaysia (UGA), and the University of Singapore (Universities of Singapore). All these schools offer similar programs that prepare students for the pre-university level and higher, and then for their Masters in Malaysia (Maths). They also offer a host of specializations such as Masters of Education (FE) and Master of Business Administration (MBA). However, there is one major difference between the school offerings of these government-recognized schools and those offered by private, non-government educational establishments. malaysia international school
The differences begin with the types of courses that are offered at Malaysia’s government-recognized international schools. Whereas the International School of Malaysia offers a complete course curriculum based on the United Nations Education and Training Council (UNETC) domestic educational standards, and the University of Macau has a completely different curriculum based on the International Labor Organization’s (ILO) global educational standards. At the pre-university level, the two schools typically offer the same general liberal arts courses and elective courses based on the subjects taught in their respective universities. However, a main difference is that the government-recognized school prepares its students to enter higher education through the university system, whereas the private school prepares its students to enter a range of careers after completing their education.
The English National Curriculum of Malaysia (ECRN) serves as the basic educational requirement for all Malaysian public school students. This syllabus is approved by the Malaysian Education Ministry and is used in almost all aspects of education in Malaysia, including higher education. The Malaysian pre-university level and the University of Macau both utilize the ECRN as the primary educational resource. In comparison, both the government-recognized school and the private school have significantly reduced the number of courses and the number of subjects that they offer. They also typically offer fewer electives and fewer subject options outside of the core subjects and courses that they require students to complete in order to earn a degree.
Many private universities throughout the region such as those in ice and tunis offer their own domestic educational programs based on the International Business schools’ and the European School’s international curriculum. Although the courses and subjects offered in these programs are typically similar to those offered at the Kuala Lumpur campus, the schools generally differ in terms of the number of students enrolled and the length of the programs. Most of the time, they follow the standard six-month academic program schedule. Some private universities in Malaysia have also initiated their own curricula modernization plans. These plans include a focus on distance learning, professional certifications and professional development.
